21 He that follows after righteousness and mercy shall find life, righteousness, and honour.
22 The wise man took the city of the mighty and cast down its strength in which it trusted.
23 Whosoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles.
24 Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who deals in proud wrath.
25 The desire of the slothful kills him; for his hands refuse to labour.
26 There is one who covets greedily all day long, but the righteous gives and keeps on giving.
27 The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination; how much more, when he brings it with lewdness?
